[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 495699, member: 21536"] In this application, I would have zero concern with gaso fumes passing through the Sch40 PVC. Yeah, those pesky budget issues are always a problem! From what you describe, between the transom braces does not sound like a good option. Besides removal for refilling, these tanks expand and contract and need a little room. Wedging between the braces could be an issue. Using dual 3 gallon tanks is an interesting option. You would need to move the fuel hose or put in a valve to switch tanks when one runs dry. Not ideal IMO, but doable. Until you come up with a solution you really like, maybe just run the fuel line across the top of the bench -- along the side of course. Put that section of large diameter PVC on top of the bench where it meets the hull. [/QUOTE]
